Fabricated both W-818 (small) aileron pushrods. (These were easier to make than the large pushrods for several reasons: I used a sharp, new cobalt drill bit in the drill press; I spent a lot of time EXACTLY centering the drill guide, which I discovered was slightly off-center; I did not use cutting oil, which tended to make the bit slide on the surface of the pushrod last time I used it; and finally, I used AN470AD4-11 rivets for the end fittings instead of the 4-12s specified in the plans. I have noticed several too-long rivet callouts in the plans, and this is definitely one of them.)
Measured, located, and taped Duckworks landing light template to left wing. Marked cutout on wing surface, and read installation plans.
